MANAVLOK has installed two hemodialysis and one-colour doppler sonography machines at Swami Ramanand Tirth Rural Government Medical College and Hospital in Ambajogai.

Free Cataract Diagnosis Camp and Surgery Camp

Due to COVID-19, the emergency medical cases were severely disrupted. The avoidance of nonurgent and routine medical care cases has caused a sharp increase in the number of cataract patients.

Oxygen Concentrator

In the second wave of COVID-19, there was a huge shortage of oxygen. In order to overcome the shortages, MANAVLOK distributed 29 oxygen concentrators to the patients.
